Freshman down town, and when we left him he was snekin the head of a red and white peppermint cane we had purchased for him at his own suggestion. In the Junior year we didn ' t do the athletics a thing. We played one foot- ball game for the championship, and the mild score of 71-0 tells the tale of blood. In baseball, we wiped up the earth with every other class in college; in fact, we have not been beaten in either football or baseball since our Freshman year. One of the biggest things that even we ever did was showing a clean record on winter physics exam, in this year. Not a corpse remained in the examination room, and Professor Ayers blessed us with tears of joy. Then we put away childish things and become Seniors. Tulane didn ' t know whether the present buildings were good enough for us as Seniors, and stopped to deliberate so long that, to our unspeakable alarm, the philosophic G-eorge betook himself to the U. of T. ; and supplies of what Mrs. Partington would call something like guano, for the hair, failed Jacoby, as he informs us, his mustache languishing so in consequence that, though he now plucks absent-mindedly at it from force of habit, he never touched — and we were never touched so much as wheu we first saw him without. When we finally got back, the Faculty having decided that to erect build- ings good enough for us was an impossibility, we turned our attention to foot- ball. As Chimmie Fadden would say, wot ' tell the story is the score, and we are still champions. We are the first Seniors who have played football. And now, having tasted the joys and sorrows of those things peculiar to Seniors ; having survived psychology, steam engine, economics and Spanish ; having organized the Biological German Club and the S. P. C, and being still unspoilt by all this, we go forth into the wide, wide world ; by this time next year it will be : ' How many ex-Seniors, Tulane man? ' He answered, ' Steen are we; Holt and Eeppel at Klondike dwell And Goldman ' s gone to sea. But I liope none of us will lie in the c hurchyard ; there are better places than that to sleep off jags after drinking old ' 98 ' s health to the toast a la Princeton : May every good attend her, TSo insult shall she rue, While the class still stands defender Of the Old Gold and the Bine! 20

Senior Class History. If any one in the larg ' e and distinguished coterie of Tulane ' s friends, who will read this Jambalaya, doesn ' t believe in evolution after hearing that we were Freshmen once, that person had better go about, like a modern Diogenes, look- ing for a Freshman, and when with the aid of a five-hundred-diameter microscope he has found one, let him cry : ' ■ Pecan ! The half was not told me ! Before our beards were grown, when, as Thackeray says, we shaved sur- reptitiously with our sister ' s scissors, we used to take the football away from all the otlier classes on the campus. Before we were Sophomores we had attained to the honor of having been before the Board more times than any other class within the memory of man. Overturned benches, wild professors, a badly beaten High School, and certain other trifles, too numerous to mention, bear witness to the fact that Nature might have stood up and said to all the world : These were Freshmen ! When we arrived at the dignity (!) {Sanda simpUcitas !) of Sophomores, our first step was to post the usual notice respecting the carrying of canes, by Fresh- men. Most of the Freshmen, we were glad to see, took the advice of their big brothers with great meekness of spirit. One raite-y man of valor, however, in the pride of his heart took unto him his staff, and sallied forth. We went too, and strewed the floor with rushes, until the cane looked as if Here ward had used it as a door-knocker. Then our innate knowledge of economics told us that it would never do to substitute gratuity for value in that way. So we took the
